Body of Margaret Doherty, Discov ered in Water. The body of Margaret Dohetry. the Vassar Btudent, who disappear ed Sunday was found lato Tuesday In the cistern of her father's home at Hugsouville, N. Y. Miss Dohtry, who was the daughter' of the Rev; Wm. H. Dohtry, wandered away from the care of her friends Sunday morn ing. It was known that she had boon forced to abandon her studies at Vassar because of mental strain due to overwork und from the moment her absence was noted there was the greatest anxiety for her safety. The all-night and day search came to a sad end when a railroad detective found the lifeless body of the girl in six feet of water at the bottom of the cistern. Appearances indicated a carefully planned sui cide. The cover of the cistern was in position. It seems that she rais ed it ou edge, allowing it to fall back into place over her as she jump ed to death below. There were no evidences of foul play. Miss Dohetry was ambitious to make her first year at Vassar n cred itable one. She knew that her fath er bad abandoned a rich parish in New Jersey to accept his small charge of Hugsonvlllc expressly that his daughter might be near enough Vasser to commute. Her ambitions, however, outran her strength, and three weeks ago she broke down. "WE WILL WIN," SAYS MURDOCH. Kansas Legislator Denies That In surgents Are Beuten.

I Mr. Murdock made it plain that :ie was not speaking as the "of icial" mouthpiece of the insurgents, jut he knew them all pretty well and >elieved he was aware of their opin ions about Mr. Cannon and the! rules of t!.e house.
